The Inuit Movement in Canada's Newest Territory Holly Ann Dobbins Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Dobbins, Holly Ann, "Nunavut, A Creation Story. The Inuit Movement in Canada's Newest Territory" (2019). Dissertations - ALL. 1097. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/1097 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract This is a qualitative study of the 30-year land claim negotiation process (1963-1993) through which the Inuit of Nunavut transformed themselves from being a marginalized population with few recognized rights in Canada to becoming the overwhelmingly dominant voice in a territorial government, with strong rights over their own lands and waters. In this study I view this negotiation process and all of the activities that supported it as part of a larger Inuit Movement and argue that it meets the criteria for a social movement. This study bridges several social sciences disciplines, including newly emerging areas of study in social movements, conflict resolution, and Indigenous studies, and offers important lessons about the conditions for a successful mobilization for Indigenous rights in other states. In this research I examine the extent to which Inuit values and worldviews directly informed movement emergence and continuity, leadership development and, to some extent, negotiation strategies.

    QUN’NGIAQTIARLUGU (TAKING A CLOSER LOOK) AT INUIT QAUJIMAJATUQANGIT IN COMMUNITY-BASED PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH by Jenny R. Rand Submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements of Doctor of Philosophy at Dalhousie University Halifax, Nova Scotia June 2020 © Copyright by Jenny R. Rand, 2020 Dedication Past To my paternal grandparents, Eustace and Lorraine Rand, whose love for the North was part of the stories and artwork that surrounded me growing up - long before my parents ever dreamed of boarding up our home in Blomidon, Nova Scotia and moving to Kugluktuk, Nunavut. Eustace Louvain Rand (1914-1988) who traversed the Nahanni River NWT on two separate trips. The first in 1954, ran out of time and stopped short; they repeated the attempt in 1958 and made it all the way to Virginia Falls. Lorraine Geraldine (Hiltz) Rand (1917-2008) my Nanny, who traveled to Fort Smith, NWT in 1989, and who was a talented and prolific fibre artist who hooked beautiful wall hangings of northern scenes. Together, for over 30 years, my grandparents operated the general store in Port Williams, Nova Scotia. I now own my own home in Port Williams - just around the corner from their old house and from where their store sat, and it is from here that I completed this dissertation. Future For Ella, Tessa, Van, Judah, Briar, Owen and Madeline – Children, Nagligivagit, you are my future, my greatest wish for you is a brilliant and happy inuuhiq – and when you grow up - please do not forget, “You must do something to make the world more beautiful” - Miss Rumphius ii Table of Contents List of Tables ..........................................................................................................................................

  • Language, Identities and Ideologies of the Past and Present Chukotka Langue, Identité Et Idéologie En Tchoukotka Autrefois Et Aujourd'hui Daria Morgounova
    Document generated on 09/25/2021 1:38 p.m. Études/Inuit/Studies Language, identities and ideologies of the past and present Chukotka Langue, identité et idéologie en Tchoukotka autrefois et aujourd'hui Daria Morgounova Tchoukotka Article abstract Chukotka The historical background of Chukotka is one of intensive language contact and Volume 31, Number 1-2, 2007 of rapid socio-political, economic, cultural and spiritual change, which often makes any predictions difficult, also in regard to language. When I first came URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/019721ar to Chukotka in 2003, the Yupiget sense of ethnic awareness was very strong. DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/019721ar The majority of the Yupik population expressed positive attitudes towards their Native language and seemed to be supportive of its revitalisation. However, when I returned to Chukotka in 2005, I found out that the Yupik See table of contents language status and loyalty had shifted. In this paper, I discuss language shift in Chukotka with reference to St. Lawrence Island, Alaska. I also cast light on language transformations and adaptation that I have documented during my Publisher(s) fieldwork in the area in 2003 and 2005, and give possible explanations as to why the revitalisation movement that I witnessed in the beginning of the new Association Inuksiutiit Katimajiit Inc. millennium was short-lived and had ceased by 2005.

  • Imagining China on Greenland's Road to Independence
    Imagining China on Greenland’s Road to Independence Ulrik Pram Gad, Naja Dyrendom Graugaard, Anders Holgersen, Marc Jacobsen, Nina Lave & Nikoline Schriver For decades, Greenlandic politicians have sought independence in international politics and economy. Renewed global interest in the Arctic has given new impetus to a strategy of diversifying the existing dependency relations, as a way to put coloniality behind. This article investigates how Greenlandic foreign policy narratives have cast China in different roles that support this strategy. Some narratives are informed by Orientalist tropes imported from Denmark, while others dismiss the very same tropes. Some embrace Chinese partners as crucial on Greenland’s road to independence, while others reject China as imperialist. Mainly, China has been imagined as a potent source of material resources (export revenues, investments, labour). Initially, this narrative was employed to support a business attempt to reinvigorate traditional hunting through new export channels. Later, narratives underscored Greenlandic ambitions as a mining country. Recently, they have backed a Greenlandic search for new solutions to the less-hyped fishing and tourism industries. Besides the promise of material gains, Greenlandic authorities have also imagined China as an occasion for international recognition. However, the sought for recognition has changed drastically, from the time when Greenland’s national team played soccer against Tibet to current attempts to negotiate science, infrastructure and paradiplomacy with Beijing and Copenhagen. The analysis is based on media reports, government foreign policy statements and parliamentary debates 1999-2018. Theoretically, the analysis draws on a tradition of analyzing international politics and foreign policy as driven by narratives constructing nation state identities in relation to Others, focusing particularly on Orientalist tropes and anti-colonial alternatives.

  • Development of West Greenlandic Markets for Country Foods Since the 18Th Century OLE MARQUARDT1 and RICHARD A
    ARCTIC VOL. 49, NO. 2 (JUNE 1996) P. 107– 119 Development of West Greenlandic Markets for Country Foods Since the 18th Century OLE MARQUARDT1 and RICHARD A. CAULFIELD2 (Received 15 March 1995; accepted in revised form 6 November 1995) ABSTRACT. Local markets for country foods have a history in West Greenland dating back to the early 18th century. After Danish colonization in 1721, Greenlanders gradually began selling these foods (West Greenlandic: kalaalimerngit), which included seal, whale, caribou, fish, and birds—first to the Danes and later to other Greenlandic Inuit. This trade was a significant transformation of pre-contact Inuit exchange practices. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, the trade was largely between Greenlandic hunters and Danes employed by the colonial trade or by the church. Later in the 19th century, these institutions employed increasing numbers of indigenous Greenlanders. Economic specialization gradually became more pronounced within Greenlandic society, and cash became more prominent in local economies. Greenlandic hunters increasingly sold country foods to other Greenlanders earning wages. These practices continue today, with hunters regularly selling country foods in many towns at the local kalaalimineerniarfik (literally, “place where Greenlandic foods are sold”), to institutions such as schools or senior citizens’ homes, and in larger stores. Today, Greenland’s Home Rule government is promoting local country food markets as one strategy for sustainable development. The goals are to promote the use of nutritious and culturally valued foods on a sustainable basis and to provide economic opportunities for local hunters, particularly in outlying settlements. The history of Greenland’s system for marketing country foods highlights some issues that may influence the contribution of country foods to sustainable community development in the Arctic.

  • Inuit and Modern Hunter-Gatherer Subsistence Les Inuit Et La Subsistance Des Chasseurs-Cueilleurs À L’Époque Moderne George W
    Document généré le 2 oct. 2021 17:59 Études/Inuit/Studies Inuit and modern hunter-gatherer subsistence Les Inuit et la subsistance des chasseurs-cueilleurs à l’époque moderne George W. Wenzel Développement industriel et impacts miniers Résumé de l'article Industrial development and mining impacts Il y a deux décennies, Asen Balikci (1989) et David Riches (1990) se Volume 37, numéro 2, 2013 demandaient si la recherche sur les Inuit, en dépit de la production d’une abondante littérature, avait contribué aux débats théoriques en anthropologie. URI : https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1025716ar Burch (1994) leur emboîte le pas en questionnant plus largement la pertinence DOI : https://doi.org/10.7202/1025716ar des études sur les chasseurs-cueilleurs. La thèse centrale de cet article est que la recherche sur l’économie inuit a, en fait, largement contribué à redéfinir ce qu’est la subsistance. Autrefois décrite comme regroupant les activités Aller au sommaire du numéro économiques les plus élémentaires, la subsistance est aujourd’hui comprise comme une adaptation culturelle. Cela a aussi mis en lumière le fait que peu de sociétés peuvent être décrites telle qu’elles l’étaient dans Man the Hunter (Lee Éditeur(s) et DeVore 1968). Au contraire, aujourd’hui les chasseurs-cueilleurs de l’Arctique à l’Australie sont en contact quasi-constant avec les économies de Association Inuksiutiit Katimajiit Inc. marché et avec une réalité où l’argent joue un rôle crucial dans leurs modes de Centre interuniversitaire d’études et de recherches autochtones (CIÉRA) vie. C’est à cet égard que la recherche sur les Inuit, comme l’a noté Sahlins (1999), a contribué conceptuellement à la fois aux études sur les ISSN chasseurs-cueilleurs et à l’anthropologie.
